Grass-fed Cinnamon Butter Fat Bombs

(Note: This post may contain affiliate links. Your cost won't change if you purchase something, but I will receive a small commission.)

Are you getting enough grass-fed butter in your diet? Grass-fed butter is a nutritional powerhouse, and unless you have a dairy allergy, I think you should be including it in your diet everyday.

(Experienced real foodies know what I’m talking about, but if you’re new to real food you should check out this post on why butter is good for you.)

Not all of my meals lend themselves to being topped with butter, so I’ve developed a few candy-like recipes that make it easy to add some butter to the end of a meal or snack.

One of my favorites is these cinnamon butter fat bombs. I’m not a huge fan of the term “fat bomb,” so you can also call them cinnamon butter bites if you prefer. 🙂

Flavorful, slightly sweet, and with a whipped taste vaguely reminiscent of frosting, these cinnamon butter bites are a delicious way to eat your healthy fats! Just pop one or two at the end of your meal, or even between meals if you feel like you need a little pick me up.

They’re kid-friendly, too! Healthy fats like grass-fed butter are SO important for kids, but I personally struggled with getting much butter into my daughter when she was younger. She totally went for these butter bites, though!

Is this Recipe Keto-friendly??

I have never done the keto diet, so I didn’t actually write this recipe to be keto-friendly. If YOU are on the keto diet, though, this recipe can definitely work for you. Instead of using the full amount of honey, replace some or all of the honey with your keto-friendly sweetener of choice.

I personally think that these taste best with at least a small amount of honey in the mix, rather than 100% stevia or other non-calorie sweetener, but feel free to do whatever works for your tastebuds and your diet. 🙂

Where to Find Grass-fed Butter

While you can use any butter for this recipe, you’ll get better nutrition as well as better flavor if you opt for grass-fed butter. Grass-fed butter comes from cows that are exclusively (or close to exclusively) fed grass–which is the ideal diet for a cow–and thus contains many more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients than butter that comes from grain-fed cows.

Depending on where you live, you may have several different varieties of grass-fed butter available to you. Personally I exclusively buy Kerrygold butter because I can get it at my local Costco for a very affordable price.

If you’re not a Costco member, you can also find grass-fed butter at health food stores like Sprouts, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. Local grass-fed dairies also often sell grass-fed butter, although that option is likely to be more expensive.

If you can afford it, raw grass-fed butter is the absolute BEST butter you can buy. Personally I don’t have that kind of leeway in my budget, but if you do, definitely go for it!

Salted vs. Unsalted Butter

I use salted butter in this recipe because my most affordable grass-fed butter option is buying salted Kerrygold butter at Costco. You can certainly substitute unsalted butter, just be sure to add some salt to taste.

Using a Blender vs. a Food Processor

Several people have asked me whether you can make this recipe in a blender instead of a food processor. While I haven’t done this myself, I’m pretty sure it would work. The only issue will be that the butter mixture is pretty thick, so you’ll have to work a lot to scrape it all out of your blender. I own a high-powered blender as well as a food processor, but I always prefer my food processor for recipes like this one because it’s much easier to scrape out. (Plus my food processor can go in the dishwasher! Not true for my blender.)

Add butter, cinnamon, honey/stevia, and vanilla extract to your food processor. Process for a couple of minutes to mix ingredients and achieve slightly whipped taste. Stop food processor as necessary to scrape down the bowl and reincorporate ingredients.

Spoon butter mixture into silicone molds, Alternatively, you can line a cutting board or other flat surface with parchment paper and then spoon dollops of butter mixture onto the parchment paper. (This is not as pretty but it works just as well, and is actually my preferred method if I'm not taking a photo!)

Freeze for an hour or two, then remove from parchment paper or molds and store in a container in your freezer. Enjoy!

Carolyn, I've never tried a blender so I'm not sure. I'm guessing that it would work, although you might have some trouble scraping it all out. I love my blender for liquidy things like smoothies but for thicker items I prefer the food processor because I personally find it easier to scrape. If you give it a try in the blender, come back and let us know how it turned out!

Hi Cheryl,
Yes, you can prepare it the same way, although you may need to adjust the other ingredients for flavor. In my experience ghee has a much stronger flavor than butter, so you may want to add more cinnamon and/or vanilla.

Rochelle, I'm not sure whether you can have honey on keto. (I didn't actually write this recipe to be a keto recipe, and I've never done the diet myself.) But feel free to substitute any other sweetener of your choice.

Deb, I didn't actually write this recipe to be a keto recipe. But a lot of people have picked it up and adopted it for that purpose. You are welcome to substitute any other sweetener that works better for you. :)

CHOCOLATE CINNAMON BUTTER BITES
I tried these butter bites fof my keto diet. They had little flavor and mostly what you could taste is the butter. I modified the recipe to make it Chocolate Cinnamon Butter bites. They taste wonderful. I even game some to people not on the diet and they loved them. The preparation procedure is exactly the same as the recipe above but the ingredients are different:
- 3/4 lbs grass-fed butter
- 1/4 lbs cream cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp. Cinnamon
- 2 tnsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cacao powder
- 5 packets Stevia sweetner
- pinch salt

[…] Grass-Fed Cinnamon Butter Fat Bombs. If you are on a Paleo or low-carb diet, you may need some emergency “candy” fix just in case you are craving for some sweet munchies. These cinnamon butter fat bombs are just the right things to store in your fridge for such occasion. […]

If you do not have a food processor, put all the ingredients into a ziplock bag, then put it in a bowl of hot water to soften up the butter and then mix by hand. Place the bag in the freezer after mixed for a few minutes to help re-solidify the mixture just enough so you can cut a corner off and squeeze it like a cake decorator!
